Having just about reached the 600 million mark at the box office by the time this was written, We’ve got another Nolan hit on our hands. It’s not surprising though, seeing as how hungry the Nolanites were for something new, and even those that would hate the idea of being labeled anything other than what they choose have to admit that he can get their attention.

So do we have another cast of well-rounded, obsessed individuals flipping around on a psychological jungle gym? You betcha. Continue reading

Stars: Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Wes Bentley, Casey Affleck, Mackenzie Foy, David Gayase, Bill Irwin, Michael Caine

Rated PG-13 for some intense perilous action and brief strong language. Running time 169 minutes, Sci-fi/Adventure/Drama

Compare to: Contact (1997), Sunshine (2007), Inception (2010)

Since his re-introduction of the Dark Knight into film and actually making him dark again, director Christopher Nolan has made himself a brand name that carries with all of his films the comparison to each of his Batman films.

Space is fun. I can’t say that I have ever been there, but I tend to live vicariously through other people. Other people in this instance being, Tom Hanks, William Shatner, and Harrison Ford.

Why is space fun? An endless void of stars, galaxies, and everything else that is out there that I don’t know about. These endless possibilities open up endless opportunities for new movies and new ideas set in space. Shooting on site is a bit difficult, but if you can manage the trip to the space production studio, the space sickness wears off…so I’m told.

In the spirit of all things space, specifically Interstellar’s release date nearing (November 5th) I wanted to discuss a few of the cooler space themes in film. Specifically- black holes.  Continue reading

Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar opens this November and the only way I could be more excited for it is if I was going to be shot into space myself as a promotion for the movie.

Yes, I would let them shoot me into space. Just give me a space suit and a Star Wars lunch box and I’m good. And while you could call me a Nolanite for accepting just about everything the man does, you’ve got to give credit where credit is due and for this poster, credit is due. And then there’s Days of Future Past, which is just… Continue reading
